FDS Elite CDU (Boeing)
EHM-0654 Murray:
Been debating whether to post first and add pictures after, or wait 'til I've got the pictures ready and uploaded, but figure I'll chum the water first.
I've finally gotten my FDS Elite CDU with PSOne LCD display built (USB controller for the PM CDU and similar software CDUs)
Grabbed lots of piccies with my mobile phone, but this laptop doesn't have any image editting software on it that doesn't suck (do any of you know how to make MS Paint do specific size resizing, rather than percentage?), so as soon as I get into work tommorrow and tweak all the pictures, I'll upload a couple here (majority will go onto the FDS forum for future builders to see...)

Jonathan, no, I didn't... all told I ended up paying closer to $700USD (once you take shipping from Canadadia, a very reduced VAT cost [thank you Pete at FDS], and the Import duties and Royal Mail fees into account)
But I have to say I've got a feeling it's going to be worth every penny (once I get to use it "in anger"...)
Next purchase from FDS for me (and it's the one I'm saving up for now) is the Signature series glare unit (yes, the $1,200 one)
Anyhow, those of you that love the PMDG 747, I see that FDS now have a 747 MIP ;D
EHM-1001 Robert:
Wow Murray,
those stuff looks awesome! Are you going to build a complete cabin, will all the panels, displays, seat...etc, or just a smaller desktop application ?
Anyway, good luck for the stuff ;)
EHM-0654 Murray:
Eventually, I would love to make a full, side-by-side, 737NG pit (using the FDS cabin shell...) but for now, I'm planning to make just a single-seat 737NG with a full MCP since I don't have a house of my own to build all this in (so I am forced to keep everything really portable...)
Just took another shot of the CDU in the half dark of twilight, and it's the best pic so far, so expect that around 0800Z tommorrow. :)
